Rani Karnavati also known as Rani Karmavati (died 8 March 1534), was a princess and temporary ruler from Bundi, India. She was married to Rana Sanga (c.1508-1528) of Mewar. She was the mother of the next two Ranas, Rana Vikramaditya and Rana Udai Singh, and grandmother of Maharana Pratap. She served as regent during the minority of her son, from 1527 until 1533.
Rani Karnavati took up the regency in the name of her elder son Vikramaditya, a weak ruler. In the meantime, Mewar was attacked for the second time by Bahadur Shah of Gujarat, at whose hands Vikramaditya had earlier received a defeat. It was a matter of great concern for Rani.
She was as fierce as her husband and defended Chittor with a small contingent of soldiers until it inevitably fell to the Gujarat army which was led by Bahadur Shah of Gujarat. She refused to flee and performed Jauhar to protect her honor.
Humayun, who was on the Bengal invasion, answered cordially and guaranteed Rani Karnawati of his aid, which may make Rajputs more sympathetic to Mughals who are the rulers of India. He left the Bengal expedition in the middle but was unable to reach Chittoor on time. Bahadur Shah invaded Chittorgarh for the second time and ravaged the city.
Rani Karnawati was GrandMother of Maharana Pratap.
